History Recap / Supergirl2015S5E10TheBottleEpisode

** Faced with a doppelganger of himself, Brainy asks if his face is made out of clay. This is a nod to DC villain Clayface, who can change his appearance at will and whose existence was previously referenced by Bruce Wayne-99 in the second part of ''Crisis on Infinite Earths''.

* RedemptionRejection: Despite Kara's appeals to her to join her against Lex, Lena decides to join forces with her brother, and despite this being a new Earth and new history Lena still wants to brainwash the entire world into doing no harm.

* RippleEffectProofMemory: Lex ensured that Lena would maintain her pre-Crisis memories.

** Selena and her sisters being back, or rather, their doppelgangers from a different, destroyed Earth.

** A photo revealing that the doppelganger from the future that could be useful for Lex and Brainy is the doppelganger of Winn Schott.

** The female Brainy, and later Kara, encourage Brainy to remove the personality inhibitors, knowing him to be a good person underneath.

** Another headline says that the Luthor siblings rescued the DEO when it was strapped for cash, explaining why it's part of Luther Corp.

Kara must adjust to a new world and the idea of Lex Luthor now running the DEO.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: One of the items in the bar's Lost and Found is a CymbalBangingMonkey, foreshadowing a character showing up in the next episode.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The post-Crisis fate of former series regulars Cat Grant, Maggie Sawyer, Samantha Arias and Eve Teschmacher is not mentioned. As Catco still exists, it is safe to assume Cat Grant existed on the new Earth and the next episode confirms James life hasnt be altered. If Sam is on this new Earth, it remains to be seen whether or not she became Reign. It can be assumed since Lena never technically attempted Non Nocere, Hope never possessed Eve and took the fall for her.

or rather, their doppelgangers from a different, destroyed Earth.

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Lex admits, under a Truth Seeker's influence, that he'll betray Lena the instant their partnership inconveniences him. He also points out that [[NotSoDifferent Lena]] will use [[BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood Non Nocere]] on him as soon as she gets the chance.

* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: The two remaining Brainy's use their Life Projectors at the end to give up their corporeal form and live amongst the Coluan knowledge aggregate, basically giving Prime-Brainy their powers and memories.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: One of the items in the bar's Lost and Found is a CymbalBangingMonkey, foreshadowing the character showing up in the next episode.

** Selena and her sisteren being back... or rather, their doppelgangers from a different, destroyed Earth.

** Everybody at the end convinces the evil Brainy to not unbottle his Earth and wait for a safe way to get it back.

* DistaffCounterpart: One of the alternate Brainys is a female version of him. She's played by Jesse Rath's actual sister, Meaghan Rath.

* BadassGay: One of Brainy's doppelgangers is a woman who married another woman, as well as being Director of the DEO and a much more forceful personality than her male counterparts.

*** Finding a safe way to get the bottled Earth back is a reference to the city of Kandor, an important kryptonian city that Brainiac had captured and bottled in comics and cartoons, with Superman later trying to find ways to safely restore it to normal size.

** Selena and her sisteren being back....or rather, their doppelgangers from a different, destroyed Earth.

* KidsAreCruel: The reason Brainy wears his personality inhibitors is because as a child, he had an entire world bottled by his mother just because he loved the snow (his horrified father later freed the world and placed the inhibitors on him).

** Brainy gaining a much more comics accurate color scheme.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The post-Crisis fate of former series regulars Cat Grant, James Olsen, Maggie Sawyer, Samantha Arias and Eve Teschmacher is not mentioned. As Catco still exists, it is safe to assume Cat Grant existed on the new Earth and presumably Kelly would mention if James weren't around. If Sam is on this new Earth, it remains to be seen whether or not she became Reign. It can be assumed since Lena never technically attempted Non Nocere, Hope never possessed Eve and took the fall for her.
